Healthy Eating

For about the past year and a half I have struggled with weight gain. When I first moved out on my own I was happy, healthy and active! Then I lost my job, had to study, was in a stressful relationship and my happiness and activity decreased. I got in a rut of not taking care of myself as well as I should have. Family members began to comment on my weight which only made me feel worse about myself. It was a constant battle between having to feel like I needed to impress them or feeling of despair with myself. I tend to be really hard on myself and I'm learning to make small changes. I won't change over night, but if I just tell myself each morning that I can do it I know that I'll eventually get to my goal. (which I'm keeping to myself at this point)


I've done the whole weight watchers thing before and it works for a little bit but you feel constrained after a while and I get bored very easily. So I'm taking things I learned on weight watchers and from what I've learned from friends and combining it all in to one big awesome plan. I don't like the word "diet", it's a scary word and it really should just disappear from the English language. I have been tracking my points online with the weight watchers online tool which really is great and it's got lots of great recipes on it.


I'm excited about this process and I know it will benefit everything about me in the future. There will be days of frustration and tiredness from work, but I know I can do it and that's all that matters. Carpe Diem, Seize the day. Always make this day better then the one before!

What am I doing?

So I've always made fun of people (secretly) who do blogs that are single, not married, no pets, no kids etc. But I have a lot of friends doing it and I love reading thier stuff! I'm not sure what wonderful insights I have to offer anyone and I'm kind of doing this more for myself then I am for the actual viewing. Nothing eventful is going on as of right now, but I didn't want to leave my first day blank! As more time passes I'm sure I'll have something fun to offer.....haha maybe!
